On the newer Sacagaweas, there is edge lettering. The alignment of this lettering determines which type it is.
When you lay the coin face up on a table ...
Type A will have the edge lettering right-side-up.
Type B will have the lettering upside-down.
There is an even chance of it being either type -- all depends which side was up when the coin was inserted into the edging machine -- kinda like the 50/50 chance of flipping the coin heads side up or tails side up.
